Buffalo macroBuffalo aniline milled leather is a naturally textured hide that undergoes a tumbling process in a rotating drum, known as milling, to soften the fibers and enhance the leather's characteristic grain for footwear applications. Chrome tanned and finished with an aniline treatment, this leather retains much of its original surface character, including natural marks and texture, giving each pair of shoes or boots a distinctive, organic appearance. The milling process also improves flexibility and softness without compromising the inherent strength of buffalo hides, making this material well suited for shoe uppers, boots, and other footwear components that benefit from a supple, broken-in feel straight off the line. At approximately 1.7mm thickness, the leather provides solid structure for footwear construction while remaining comfortable and easy to work with during lasting and stitching. Buffalo hides are valued for their density and long-term durability, and combined with aniline finishing, this milled leather offers both rugged performance and natural aesthetic appeal. Supplied with a minimum order quantity of 10,000 sq.ft and a standard lead time of 30 days, this leather suits footwear manufacturers seeking a durable, naturally textured material with authentic character.
